Las fábulas egipcias y griegas de la antigüedad sirvieron para ocultar lo que los sacerdotes de las distintas religiones sabían sobre la Gran Obra. Esta es la tesis defendida por Antoine Joseph Pernéty. Más allá del estudio de la mitología griega y egipcia y de la corrección sistemática de las afirmaciones del Abbé Banier sobre el tema, en Las Fábulas Egipcias y Griegas desveladas y reducidas a un mismo principio sigue el método de la filosofía hermética en su búsqueda de la verdad y el conocimiento, una filosofía que establece relaciones secretas y simbólicas entre todas las cosas y que es la base misma de la alquimia. Así pues, bajo la apariencia de mitografía, esta obra es en realidad un verdadero tratado de alquimia y filosofía hermética. Para el autor, la mitología y los textos griegos y egipcios constituyen la base del hermetismo. Antoine Joseph Pernéty descubrió el hermetismo en 1757, en la biblioteca de Saint-Germain-les Prés. Este benedictino partió él mismo en busca de la Piedra Filosofal; fascinado por la obra de Swedenborg, fundó la secta de los Iluminados de Berlín y más tarde de los iluminados de Avignon. Para componer sus Fábulas Egipcias y Griegas desveladas y reducidas a un mismo principio, Pernety se inspiró en gran medida en la obra de Michael Maier, hasta el punto de conservar el esquema de seis libros de su Arcana Arcanissima, con los mismos títulos, que tradujo textualmente al francés.
"The Egyptian and Greek tales of antiquity served to hide what the priests of the different religions knew about the Great Work. This is the thesis defended by Antoine Joseph Pernéty. Beyond the study of Greek and Egyptian mythology, and the systematic correction of Abbé Banier's assertions on the subject; in The Egyptian and Greek Tales Unveiled and Reduced to the Same Principle he follows the method of Hermetic philosophy in his search for truth and knowledge. A philosophy that establishes secret and symbolic relationships between all things, and which is the very basis of alchemy. Thus, under the guise of mythography, this work is in reality a true treatise on alchemy and Hermetic philosophy. For the author, mythology and Greek and Egyptian texts are the basis of Hermeticism. Antoine Joseph Pernéty discovered Hermeticism in 1757, in the library of Saint-Germain-les Prés. This Benedictine set out himself in search of the Philosopher's Stone; fascinated by Swedenborg's work, he founded the sect of the Illuminati of Berlin and later the Illuminati of Avignon. To compose his Egyptian and Greek Tales unveiled and reduced to a single principle, Pernety was largely inspired by the work of Michael Maier, to the point of retaining the six-book outline of his Arcana Arcanissima, with the same titles, which he translated verbatim into French.
